Making a Negroni

Brian and Jason miss their friend and bartender, Trever, dearly. It's been weeks since their last drink and they're dependent so they'll take whatever Trever gives them. Nice guy that he is, he brought them Count Negroni's namesake.

[@moomoo1469]

I love the nonchalant advertising on the fridge in the background "Buy the modern rogue T-shirt" Smooth guys real smooth

[@desulv]

Rogue* it's right there.

[@Dr.Scumbag]

Came here to say this.

[@linusx1x]

MooMoo146 finally someone saw it

[@desulv]

Yeah sure you fixed the typo now that i pointed it out. But can you notice things for yourself? nope

[@jack5ter98]

calm down it was just a typo...

[@SpectrumHazard]

My friend brought me to a secret bar downtown they're on the mailing list for, and when I walked through the door, I was pleasantly surprised that it was this same bar, and Trever was bartending! Awesome dude, but if you end up at *this bar*, my dude at the bar, Justin, showed me a world of martini's I never knew. Just bummed I didn't see Brian and Jason there hahaha!

[@ModernRogue]

oh, wow-- that must've been an awesome surreal experience!

[@SpectrumHazard]

The Modern Rogue It totally was! Still hoping to get to the filming of SS or MR one of these days to meet you guys, been trying for the last few years. I follow Brian on twitter when he said to do so in order to find out about filming dates, but it's just a bunch of tweets about fallout and replies to fans, which no complaints, but I always miss the film dates! Must be vigilant in the future, I suppose.

[@NikolajLepka]

Ahh it's my two favourite alcoholics and their enabler again :D

[@vitotaylor36]

Every modern rogue video ever Someone else: *says some small random fact* Brian, an intellectual: "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!"

[@bacon1595]

Vitotaylor36 I don’t know if you are saying it’s a bad thing, but I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. Just a Brian thing

[@JollibeenosHasYourCoordinates]

It's really weird when the first impression I got from these guys was from Hacking the System.

[@kendallmayfield8765]

Considering the Negroni is my favorite cocktail, I feel obliged to make a note this isn't a representation. The history is pretty spot on, and the bartender for the most part put it together correctly, but should probably mention both the absinthe rinse and the lemon peel as opposed to orange is an unusual and custom way to put it together. The elements for a solid classic Negroni are equal parts (generally 1 oz each) Campari, dry gin, and sweet vermouth, on the rocks, with an orange peel garnish, possibly flamed for both presentation and minor aroma difference which may or may not actually affect the lasting scent and flavor. The classic Negroni also calls for an old fashioned glass, and not a coupe glass, though on a personal note I agree that a coupe glass makes more sense when served shaken and not on the rocks. Chilling the glass while not an element of the classic Negroni, is more for the sake of personal preference. Some claim to taste more with a lesser cooled cocktail, and or a less diluted cocktail, while others say the recipe and ratio for the Negroni accounts for the ratio of dilution. While the lemon peel and absinthe rinse make for an interesting twist, those cannot be argued as a part of the classic Negroni. Your tastes are your tastes, if you want to throw in a twist, power to you! But, note that if your tastes introduce a change to the IBA standard you should probably mention your prepared cocktail isn't standard or traditional. The folks of the Modern Rogue, they aren't experts, and they do not pretend to be. Their assessments and conclusions are based on what they have heard, and what they experience.

[@melhall94]

Kendall Mayfield Agree 100%. Negroni should be built in a rocks glass and doesn't call for absinthe.

[@DaredewilSK]

Well he said he said that in recipe it is orange but he likes lemon because he thinks it gives the drink more balance.

[@jacopomazzoni]

You beat me to it, that drink is probably really good, it just isn't the original.

[@claudiobarros7409]

Spot on my friend, the classic is precisely that and if u change it u shouldn't be calling it negroni..... i like what they did though but i would name it revisited negroni.... chapeau to u mg friend...

[@MikeWoffy]

I was happy that the bartender pointed out that the lemon was not traditional, but I almost yelled at the screen when he threw a French Pernod rinse in without a non traditional disclosure as well.

[@mzikiller13]

From a bartenders perspective, i must say that i completely love how you respect the cocktails and describe them from your heart and palette(??) instead of going on about how good it is like any other channels on YT. I think the only other channel i appreciate except from TMR would be bonneville(??). Good day to you sirs, may your day do you well.

[@larrylentini5688]

"I always thought that I was a little bit from everywhere which kind of left me feeling like I was from nowhere." You guys have a way of phrasing little things like that just speaks to me in a pedantic kind of way.

[@cyberjar01]

I'm italian and no one here uses absinthe or this type of glass to make a Negroni(here it is very very common, if you walk along a street at 6 p.m.,during the "aperitivo" time, you'll certainly see someone drinking it, and I love it too) but it seems even so delicious, I'll try.

[@lochagosachilles8221]

And I'm English, you're spot on. Absinthe? Wtf? The glass? APERTIF what??? They cannot even pronounce the French equivalent correctly. Why call it an APERTIF? You mean an Aperitif? But it's an Aperitivo, being Italian and all. Seppos. Cut me and I bleed Campari spritz and Negroni :)

[@ScibbieGames]

So the perfect modern rogue so far would be a Magazine Craftsman, Hacker, Communication-Pro(or something),dead spike dropping, and alcoholic/bartender, Taco bell meal hacker and butterfly-knife flipper all at the same time? Damn gotta be hard

[@ScibbieGames]

oh and scientist because smoke bombs and gas masks

[@TheStrangerous]

Ya gotta be versatile!

[@Giondi]

Not to mention artist from the chainsaw sculpture episode.

[@mattlm64]

This is my favourite cocktail, though I would forgo the absinthe and use equal parts gin, vermouth and campari. Instead of an orange peel I like to use an orange wedge. I finish the drink by eating the orange which has been soaked in alcohol. I also created a variation on the drink with dry white vermouth (vermouth bianco) and scotch whisky instead of the gin. I drank about 7 of those one night, and the glasses were quite big. I wasn't feeling particularly well afterwards.

[@fastfaps]

Matthew Mitchell if you substitute the gin for bourbon whiskey, the drink is called Boulevardier :)

[@TheBlevinsNetwork]

Had my first Negroni in Toronto in 2017. Bartender was impressed with my order. I loved it!

[@slashnyx7319]

love the sneaky fridge magnets at 5:00

[@StefonCarpinoMagic]

I love how magnets behind Jason say buy a modern rogue T-shirt!

[@Undecid]

I love the subtle message on the fridge or whatever it is. Never change.

[@Stormin.93]

Noticed the magnets on the fridge behind Jason saying buy a modern rogue t-shirt.

[@iorekbyrnson7173]

I'm addicted to your videos!! pls post more frequently if you can

[@TheStrangerous]

Working on it!

[@NPC20567]

i love the subliminal messaging in the background on the fridge in magnets saying "buy a modern rogue t-shirt"

[@billxrl4154]

I love that Both Brian and Jason are huge Nerds.

[@williamkao7766]

I like the subtle advertising with the fridge magnets

[@lenaoxton3999]

I'd like to think that Brian and Jason knew each other in a past life and were a duo of honestly dishonest rogues in the old country.

[@Fluffisnoterm]

Lena Oxton This idea needs a fanfic expansion.

[@benny11223344556677]

I dont know why, but i want to buy a modern rogue tshirt!

[@TheStrangerous]

Weird. I keep reading that.

[@killmeplsokthx521]

I'm supposed to be playing game of war but this one player keeps kicking my ass

[@caracrotalus]

thelegend27?

[@ShubhamBhushanCC]

Why the fuck is the barkeep so handsome?

[@desulv]

Because they want you to feel aroused.

[@FIREBREATHER1012]

i feel like Trevor low-key hates you guys.

[@TheStrangerous]

Heh. I wouldn't blame him.

[@plummerofficial]

Hahahaha I also thought that!!

[@lildavid2558]

i spit out my water

[@robpiy91]

5:05 it's this acquired bartender smile followed by a wink of utter disgust when Brian or the other guy (sorry, I literally just forgot the name) says something. I love it.

[@JackSilver1410]

@@robpiy91 I think Trevor might just have weird facial expressions sometimes. Check out the three mead cocktails. He drops a joke after the first drink and does this bizarre raised eyebrow glance around to see if anyone got it. I've never seen a human make that face before.

[@TheJPKaram]

More episodes ! But seriously always glad to see these videos, it's what got me into cocktail making so thank you

[@TheStrangerous]

Right on!

[@chadbarrett7381]

Love these drink episodes, they're my favorite of what you guys do!

[@TheStrangerous]

Chad Barrett Fantastic!

[@bdL91]

I enjoy this show like no other. Wish it was daily

[@TheStrangerous]

Thanks!

[@houstonlc241]

Your channel is blowing up! Loving it so far, won't be long till 1M

[@TheStrangerous]

Thanks! Help us spread the word.

[@punishedspaggers168]

i can google recipes but it wouldn't be as entertaining as this

[@no1takethisname]

I love the history-build-discribtion-review brake down. nicely entertaining and informative

[@Profexxx]

Try it without the absinthe. I personally cannot stand the taste of it in any form or amount, so I leave it out (or add a splash of bitters). Best go-to drink to relax at home.

[@dropthetenors]

does anyone else enjoy going through and reading the plastic colored letters in the background?

[@diredeath8965]

Never thought someone making a beverage would be so... entertaining.

[@TheStrangerous]

DireDeath So glad to hear that.

[@skakid0]

I'm really enjoying these bevvy episodes

[@admiralfishman]

Hello @TheModernRougue your videos are so good keep up the good work!! And first!!

[@ModernRogue]

thanks!

[@HylianCuber]

Well Brian, you do sure drink like the Irish.

[@ZacharyKiernan]

Im glad I found this channel, you guys make some great content, keep it up lads !

[@Jorge_Rafa]

we need more of these videos, please

[@haminacan]

I love Campari! I like my beers bitter, but my cocktails sweet! Can you make an episode about weird shots or something? I think that could be really interesting. For example: -Baby Guinness: One shot glass of Kahlua with a bit of Baileys on top to make it look like a pint of Guinness -Alien brain hemorrage: fill a shot glass halfway with peach schnapps. Gently pour Bailey’s Irish Cream on top. After the shot is almost full, carefully add a small amount of blue curacao. After it settles, add a small splash (or a few drops) of grenadine syrup -Gas mask: a shot glass filled with gold strike at room temp, light it and place a big glass over it untill the flame dies. Tilt the glass and suck the air out of it with a straw, hold your breath and take the shot before you exhale. I really enjoy your content, thanks for everything

[@TheStrangerous]

Vincent Gevers Good idea!

[@micahphilson]

I like the letters on the fridge in the background. Nice subliminal messaging!

[@soccerstar.]

I see what you did there with the fridge magnets

[@JinSucks]

Raise your hand if you dont drink, yet still enjoy watching them make drinks!

[@aurorabennett2023]

you guys should have gone for the spicy version, with bombay saphire east, 2 1/2 oz, compari, 1 1/2, and 1 oz vermouth

[@MsJavaWolf]

The negroni is probably my favourite cocktail. I can not imagine it with a kemon skin, I guess it provides a contrast, but with a orange peel, and you have to squeeze the orange oild onto the glass, it just creates such a great warm drink.

[@zachmedrano4569]

Just made one and I have to agree, probably never going to make one again for myself

[@budgetbenchmarks4099]

Addicted to this channel.

[@TheStrangerous]

Gigabyte Gaming Yessssss

[@DJWildBillSC]

love the board behind Jason.... some reason I want to buy a shirt

[@kognition7565]

im really enjoying these mixology episodes

[@TheStrangerous]

Kurtis Byers Thanks!

[@RaulVazquez-dh7sz]

Campari with tonic water is also very nice

[@darwinbodero7872]

The music in this is excellent.

[@BrandtHughes]

Cullah makes good stuff!

[@rickyg64]

This is very cool, I have something new to try. Thanks guys!

[@shawndiaz7528]

Is this gonna be how the 'how to make' series is from now on? Feels very different from previous ones post-tasting.

[@BrandtHughes]

(the spicy texas margarita and the caipirinha were also filmed after the beerist episode)

[@RayneTheGamer]

3:30 ... I can't even. Ice chills by diluting. You cant chill with ice without melting some water into the drink that's kinda how heat transfer works. The energy has to go somewhere.

[@n0etic_f0x]

I don't get the aversion to gin people tend to have. Why? It tastes like joy. I want it on tap at my faucet.

[@veggai]

i love that they do their own ads so i dont get one

[@shmander]

great now i have to wait a week for another top class video.....

[@sgwyoshi]

I wish I knew a bar with a bartender this good

[@JDetailingca]

Haven't watched yet, but a 10 minute video for a cocktail with three ingredients? Either it has a long ad, or there is lots of shenanigans, haha

[@tylersinger2401]

You can see the pride on the mixologist's face. Good on him

[@imnotcreativeenough7208]

even though there's no legal drinking age here in Denmark i'm properly not gonna make this ever, so is it weird that i really like this series?

[@shackinternational]

Absinthe rinse is not traditional. But it is an interesting idea that I’m gonna try it…

[@jarradw411]

Those refrigerator letters say Buy A Modern Rogue T-Shirt! Subliminal Messaging confirmed!

[@lordgarth1]

Yum, This has been my go to drink for a few years now.

[@HunterWatson12756]

Can you do another exercise like challenge again like the push up one again, really enjoyed the last one and hoping for another one

[@Cadwaladr]

I usually have a negroni every night before dinner. I like to put in a couple dashes of orange bitters because I'm too lazy to cut up any actual fruit.

[@praxton]

I usually taste grapefruit in a Negroni. One of my favorite drinks.

[@TylerDollarhide]

I wish that in the future they come up with a complete replacement for alcohol. What I mean is taste the EXACT same as alcohol, without it getting you drunk, or have any other side effects. Not only so that minors can have normally alcoholic beverages, but also anyone who would like to have alcoholic drinks but not drink alcohol.

[@TheStrangerous]

That's like fishing in a swimming pool!

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Holy crap, it's Brian! I remember his card trick videos!

[@JonathanWash]

It's getting a little too cold for a Negroni and Boulevardier would be better. Can it's just as easy since you just replace the gin with bourbon.

[@TheSkogemann]

I loooove these episodes! You guys are awesome!

[@TheStrangerous]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them.

[@TheSkogemann]

Seems like you enjoy making them ;-) You guys are pretty much the reason that i drink the Old Fashioned now and then. Got the whole kit here at home. :D

[@ASilentS]

"Expands your stomach"? Dubious.

[@ethandonofrio8740]

For some reason I watch your drink making videos and all other alcohol related videos even though I'm underage and have no intention of drinking anytime soon. They're just entertaining videos I guess.

[@smogdanoff7053]

Turned 18 just a couple of days ago, tried a negroni at this restaurant, really interesting flavour. Sort of like really strong dark chocolate amongst other things

[@SilverWolfChaos]

love that subliminal message to buy a t-sirt. love your content dude

[@TheStrangerous]

Subliminal. . . ? What? I don't know what you're talking about.

[@SilverWolfChaos]

hahaha..i didnt notice at first but i was curious so guess what im buying a tshirt soon.

[@SeanHazlett]

So pumped to see this drink, I was going to suggest it!

[@komerverrinder7812]

Did anyone else notice that on the fridge it says " buy a modern rogue t-shirt" when just 2 videos ago they were talking about subliminal messages

[@theblev2882]

why do I enjoy these videos? I don't even drink.

[@outc0ming]

Holy shit you've grown fast. Heckin' love ya.

[@TheStrangerous]

Thanks!

[@christinecamley]

Hey love these dudes and Trevor, the mixologist is fab! I adore the Negroni and the "white" versions too! Sometimes they are a nice change! I also adore the Boulevardier - so similar - I love good Bourdon - Bulleit 10 year aged Bourbon - for a Boulevardier!! A Negroni or a Boulevardier are both bliss!!! Great segment!! :-)

[@cuttheskit7905]

Love the subliminal message at 4:12

[@TheMonkeyboy401]

Found the Bar!!(I won't mention it here) so Happy! :) When I go to Austin I am definitely going here. Now I just need to find out how to get in. Any hints?

[@joaoandrade3961]

You gents should try to do one of these videos for a sazerac.

[@boogieman_sam]

my favorite cocktail, a Bond classic!

[@Zeldur]

What is the most bitter alcohol you can think of? I want a list for when I'm finally able to drink because I can't taste bitter and cilantro tastes like soap to me.

hi modern rogue I love your videos!! there really funny and i like how it's fun but sophisticated! :)

[@TheStrangerous]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them.

[@SeraphimCramer]

I like negronis, but the bitterness is usually a bit much for me, so I'll typically cut it with some club soda.

[@arminsantiaguel3434]

since they did a beer episode they should do a wine episode

[@TheStrangerous]

We definitely should.

[@Topyy]

Aperitif, baguette, greetings from France :D (yup, french watch your videos)
